PPA - The Carpenter's Son w/ Christian Chiakulas
Manage episode 360718393 series 1148237
Happy Good Friday, if that's something I'm supposed to say. For our Easter special we've got Jennifer's friend, author Christian Chiakulas talking to us about the Jesus guy everyone's talking about right now. I'd offer a synopsis of his book, but the title The Carpenter's Son: A Proletarian Reconstruction of Jesus of Nazareth, seems to cover the basics. Needless to say, Brandon was very excited and had a ton of questions involving dialectics, materialism, and other terms I only barely comprehend. That said, it's a fairly easy read, largely focusing on existing research about the man, Jesus Christ, and attempting to place biblical events and writings in a historical context that doesn't line up great with the American christian right. I had no trouble following it and I'm a fucking idiot. Just gotta skip over some of the big words. You'll get it.
Next week we'll toss up the last half hour of our conversation in which we mostly talk about food. Apparently there's a type of Chicago-style pizza other than deep dish. I've never had either of them, but they all swear by all of them.
Opening track came up when I searched for Neutral Milk Hotel's "I love you Jesus Christ" song in Google. It barely has any listens and it's only a minute long, but it made me laugh. Good SEO skills, deadcowboy. Happy to double your 29 listens with this episode.
